MPs v BBC journalists

 

Note BBC home affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford's reply to Labour MP Barry Sheerman:

Barry Sheerman MP: It would be useful information for licence fee payers if the salaries of BBC journalists were flashed on their screen as they appear in the endlessly repeated advertisements before BBC News. 

Frank Bell: Same true for MPs I think, flash up salary, outside interests & their values & expenses.

Daniel Sandford (BBC): All except a very few BBC journalists earn less than Barry Sheerman’s £81,000 MP’s salary.
